Why delivery terms matter more in one-off stock deals
A one-off lot is already time-sensitive. If the delivery basis is vague, the quote can look better or worse than it really is.
That is why Borvanta pushes buyers to name EXW, FCA, CPT, or DAP preferences inside the RFQ.
What each basis changes
EXW usually means the buyer organizes pickup from the agreed warehouse or loading point. FCA shifts handover to an agreed carrier point. CPT means main carriage is paid to the named destination, and DAP pushes delivery further toward the buyer site.
The right basis depends on the buyer’s logistics control, urgency, and how much transport coordination should sit with the seller.
How to use this in an RFQ
State the destination, preferred delivery basis, packaging structure, and whether you need a delivered or pickup-oriented quote.
That gives Borvanta a cleaner path to confirm whether the current lot still works commercially and logistically.
